16 This table indicates Members who have notified TRIMs under Article 5.1;  it does not indicate 
Members which have notified that they do not apply any TR IM inconsistent with the Agreement as there is no 
obligation to submit such notifications.  It should be noted that the notifications in this Table were made in 1995 and that the transition periods for the elimination of no tified measures expired at the end of 1999 and in some 
cases at the end of 2003. Thus the list of notifications should not be interpreted as a list of measures in force.  G/L/223/Rev.16
